Physical Attributes, Weapon Selection!

Physical Attributes, Weapon Selection!

Bang! Qin Ming's right fist slammed into the target pad of the Punch Force Tester.

The target pad shook violently.

A number appeared on the Punch Force Tester's screen—"869 kg."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"867 kg." "876 kg." "870 kg."

After catching his breath, Qin Ming threw several more punches in succession to test his limit.

"Seems quite a bit stronger than before?"

A pleased smile appeared at the corner of Qin Ming's lips. This was roughly 20 kilograms higher than the original body's result.

After parting ways with class monitor Jia Hong and the others, he had been too excited to return to the dormitory and rest. Instead, he had come to the Martial Warrior Training Base to test his strength.

The soul aura continuously flowing from the Myriad Souls Banner had strengthened more than just his soul.

His physical attributes had improved as well.

Though the improvement was not particularly obvious and could not compare to his soul directly becoming that of a Junior Warrior Level Spiritual Force User, it still delighted him.

In the world of Swallowed Star, a powerful soul and a powerful body complemented each other.

A powerful body could nurture a powerful soul, while a powerful soul could likewise make the body stronger.

Just as Luo Feng's physical attributes had greatly improved when he awakened as a Spiritual Force User.

The Myriad Souls Banner's enhancement, however, was not explosive. It was a gradual, silent improvement.

"Let's test my speed too!"

Suppressing his joy, Qin Ming walked over to the Metal Track and switched on the Speed Testing Instrument.

"Huff, huff."

Qin Ming adjusted his breathing, stood on the track, and bent forward into a sprinting stance.

The track was a hundred meters long, and the area near the Speed Testing Instrument was the speed measurement zone.

He suddenly exploded forward!

Whoosh!

With all his strength unleashed, Qin Ming's speed reached its limit in an instant. He sprinted across the Metal Track at full speed until he shot out of the Speed Testing Instrument's range.

Only then did Qin Ming slow down and stop.

"4 m/s."

"My strength is around 870 kg, and my speed is 4 m/s. Both have improved quite a bit."

"Even if I don't devour Monster corpses to condense Blood Essence, in two or three days at most, the strength of my soul will let my speed and strength reach the Quasi-Martial Warrior standard!"

Qin Ming thought to himself.

Neural reaction speed had originally been this body's forte. It was the only category that had reached the Martial Warrior standard, so he was not too worried about it.

As a fourth-year student at Jiangnan No. 1 Military Academy, he was already twenty-two. This level of Talent was quite ordinary. Without the Myriad Souls Banner's enhancement, becoming a Martial Warrior would have been difficult.

"I'll first get more familiar with exerting force, then head to the Monster Corpse Recycling Area. I should be able to get some Monster flesh there."

Naturally, Qin Ming would not pass up Monster flesh. The information provided by the Myriad Souls Banner had made it very clear that it was the real treasure for improving physical attributes.

Quite a few soldiers were already drilling and sparring in the training ground, their shouts echoing through the air.

Qin Ming did not know any of them, so he headed alone toward the weapon racks at the side of the training ground.

A great variety of cold weapons were displayed there, with more than a dozen enormous weapon racks in total.

Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, polearms, hooks, forks—the full array of traditional weapons was present, and each type came in different models.

After looking them over, Qin Ming's gaze was immediately drawn to the long weapons and heavy weapons.

Long-handled Mo Dao, long-handled battle axes, war hammers, long spears, maces, halberds, and more—all of them made one's blood race at a glance.

The military was full of fierce warriors, and unlike ordinary Martial Warriors, they often had no option to retreat.

When facing Monsters head-on, heavy weapons were far better than sabers and swords.

He walked over to a Long-handled Mo Dao. It was a full eight meters long, with a two-meter blade, and looked utterly terrifying.

"So heavy!"

Qin Ming lifted it with both hands and found that it weighed a full 100 kilograms. This was even the lightest Mo Dao among them.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After swinging it a few times to get a feel for it, Qin Ming felt excited, but he still put it down.

It was too heavy.

With his current strength, using such a Long-handled Mo Dao was far too strenuous.

Then Qin Ming's eyes lit up as he looked toward the other weapons, picking them up one by one to try them out.

The original owner of this body had trained with a saber as well, though it had been an ordinary long saber.

Qin Ming did not feel much affinity for sabers. Instead, he was full of enthusiasm for these heavy weapons.

After trying every sort of cold weapon, including long-handled battle axes, war hammers, long spears, and maces, Qin Ming stopped in front of a Halberd.

This Halberd was a full two meters long. As a heavy long weapon, it combined the functions of a spear, saber, hook, and axe, making it extremely complex to wield.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The long halberd tore through the air, producing explosive cracks.

"This feels amazing!"

After swinging it freely a few times, Qin Ming returned it to its place and picked up a one-handed saber.

"As expected, long weapons and heavy weapons feel much more satisfying to use."

He spun the saber in a flourish, his gaze shifting back and forth between the Long-handled Mo Dao and the Halberd.

"I'm already a Spiritual Force User. At range, I can control Flying Knives to attack, and I can even command the Wraiths inside the Myriad Souls Banner. But what about close combat?"

With the Myriad Souls Banner, becoming a Martial Warrior was inevitable. Choosing a suitable weapon was therefore of utmost importance!

A saber? A spear?

After testing them out, he did not feel anything special.

Instead, he rather liked the two heavy weapons: the Long-handled Mo Dao and the Halberd.

Although the strongest manuals on Earth were World Destruction and Ninefold Thunderblade, Qin Ming, who knew the plot well, was fully aware that once one left Earth, those two Secret Arts were nothing special.

There was no need to restrict himself because of them.

It would be better to choose a weapon he liked. Perhaps that would let him go farther.

"No need to decide yet. It won't be too late after I become a Martial Warrior! With my status as a Spiritual Force User, I should be able to earn plenty of military merit after becoming a Martial Warrior. I'll decide then."

After weighing it over, Qin Ming did not linger any longer. He turned and headed toward the base entrance.

He had no intention of hiding his identity as a Spiritual Force User.

In the military, strength reigned supreme. Hiding one's strength was an extremely foolish thing to do.

Once he became a Martial Warrior and revealed his identity as a Spiritual Force User, he would certainly receive greater attention.

Not only would he gain more resources, but entering the battlefield to collect Monster corpses and souls would also become much easier.

Rumble—

Before he even reached the base entrance, the roar of heavy machinery reached him. From afar, Qin Ming saw an enormous truck over ten meters tall and more than forty meters long rolling in, loaded with a mountain of Monster corpses.

This Heavy Truck resembled the mining vehicles he had seen in the film The Wandering Earth in his previous life. With a maximum load capacity of 3,000 tons, it was perfectly suited for transporting massive Monster corpses.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Qin Ming hurried forward. The moment he stepped within a hundred meters of the truck, hundreds of Monster souls howled toward him as the Myriad Souls Banner devoured them.

The data panel refreshed madly.

In only a brief moment, the number of Living Souls soared directly to 500. As the second and third Heavy Trucks drove in, the number continued skyrocketing.

Along with the surging numbers, Qin Ming felt the warm current flowing from the Myriad Souls Banner grow stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out at the base entrance.

As another Heavy Truck drove in, a gigantic snake head entered Qin Ming's view, making his eyes light up.

An Advanced Beast General Bone-Eating Python!

The soul within its sixty-to-seventy-meter body roared as it was forcibly dragged toward Qin Ming by the Myriad Souls Banner.

When the Bone-Eating Python's soul entered the Myriad Souls Banner's space, an astonishing warm current surged forth. Even his body felt as though it had been soaked in a hot spring.

The strength section of the data panel changed instantly.

[Banner Master: Qin Ming (Advanced Trainee, Intermediate Warrior Level Spiritual Force User)]

[Living Souls: 1086/100000 (Beast Soldier 1080, Beast General 6)]

[Main Soul: 0/1]

[Blood Essence: 0/100000]

He had already broken through to become an Intermediate Warrior Level Spiritual Force User!

"I've hit the jackpot!"
